At the moment metadata of German books are often poor or are missing totally with the available Calibre plugins. The best catch so far is amazon.de, but even there it mostly works with bestsellers – the metadata quality for science books are poor or they are missing completely.

I suggest therefore a metadata source plugin for the German National Library (if that is feasible and allowed).

I think the German National Library is cataloguing *all* published German books and the quality of ther metadata is excellent.
